How to Choose the Best Water Purifier for your Home?

The tap water in our homes is loaded with hazardous chemicals and impurities which makes the water unsafe for consumption. Filtering out these impurities is critical, otherwise the risk of waterborne diseases is always looming. Contaminants and heavy metals that find their way into the tap water must be removed from drinking water for it to be safe. Apart from heavy metals and chemicals, impure water may also contain bacteria, pathogens and microbes which can cause serious illnesses like Cholera, stomach infections, typhoid, dysentery, and salmonella among others. These microbes can seriously attack one’s immune system and weaken it.

What are the contaminants present in Tap water?

Here are some of the most dangerous water contaminants that may be present in tap water:

Bacteria

Pesticides

Fluoride

Chlorine

Lead

Mercury

PCBs

Arsenic

Perchlorate

Dioxins

DDT

What is TDS?

Contaminants which are larger than 2 microns are termed as total dissolved solids or TDS. For water to be safe for drinking, TDS should be < 500 ppm. The tap water can have TDS ranging from 1000-3000 ppm. High TDS in water can also alter the taste of water and also cause many health hazards. The best way to reduce the TDS of water is to use an RO water purifier. The presence of potassium, sodium, chlorides also increase the TDS level in water. The presence of toxic ions such as lead, nitrate, cadmium and arsenic present can lead to serious health issues and can even be dangerous if consumed in excess quantities.

Types of Water Purification Technologies

1. RO or Reverse Osmosis:

Reverse osmosis is a technology that removes impurities and dissolved solids by passing them through a permeable membrane which filters out all the unnecessary impurities. In Purifiers that use reverse osmosis, the membrane effectively eliminates dissolved salts, minerals, chloramines, nitrates, and heavy metals present in water.

2. Ultra Violet (UV) and Ultra Filtration (UF) Technologies

UV or ultraviolet rays get rid of microorganisms & pathogens which cause water-borne diseases. UV water purifiers do not however remove hardness from water but are extremely effective in removing pathogens and microbes that can cause an array of ailments especially in children, since they’re immune systems are still developing.

UF water purification system employs a fiber membrane which eliminates suspended solids. However, UF cannot eliminate bacteria or pathogens.

3. Activated Carbon Filter:

Activated carbon filter is extremely efficient in removing volatile organic chemicals (VOC), pesticides and herbicides, as well as chlorine, benzene, trihalomethane (THM) compounds, and other impurities.

Carbon is highly porous and thus is great at removing these impurities from water but it doesn’t remove any dissolved solids and can be used in conjunction with additional purification systems.

How to choose the right water purifier based on water quality?

If the water in your home is hard and contains high TDS, then you must choose a water purifier that uses RO + UV technologies.

If the water in your home is hard and TDS levels are low then, RO water purifiers are the best option.

Remember that before choosing the best purifier for your home, you need to check the water quality. To determine the water quality you may get in touch with us.
